Maximinus was a half-barbarian strongman of frightening appearance and colossal size (supposedly over seven feet tall).

This is an accessible narrative account of the life and times of one of Romes most remarkable emperors.

Not That Man!: Restoring St Paul's Reputation
If you think you don't like St Paul then this book is for you. It covers controversial topics such as Paul's attitudes to women, slavery and sex; it also asks 'What changed Paul?, ' 'Did Paul think that Jesus was God?, ' and many other questions. Key passages have been included to illustrate that you must keep revisiting Paul if you are to go deeper into the mystery of this extraordinary character. The translations are always Nicholas King's own and will help you to get to know Paul better--which is what this book is all about.
